Chapter 677
“You sent it for repair?” Meredith mumbled softly under her breath, looking dazed.
“Yes.” Noticing how pale she looked, Josiah was confused. “What’s the matter? Why are you looking for it so
desperately?”
Meredith ignored his question but instead, she glared furiously at him. “Who asked you to send it for repair? How
could it be fixed when it’s already broken?”
“Don’t worry. It can be fixed.”
“Even if it’s fixed, it’s not the same anymore!” With rage welling up inside of her, Meredith started hitting him. “You
bastard! It’s all your fault! Why did you break it? Give me back my hairpin!”
Josiah simply allowed her to vent her anger on him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe hairpin cost only about a hundred thousand dollars and of course, Josiah was able to afford to pay her back.
But he knew that she did not want his money, Meredith wanted the hairpin that she got from her mother.
And it was something that would be hard to accomplish. “Josiah Shelby, give me back the hairpin!” Meredith asked
for the hairpin. “Edith, I already told you that I’ve sent it for repair.”
“I don’t want it to be fixed. I don’t care if it’s broken, just give me back the hairpin!”
“Okay, I’ll give it back to you tomorrow.”
“I want it now!” Meredith insisted.
Josiah was confused. “Edith, why are you so desperate to have it back now?”
“No reason, I just want to have it back now!” Meredith demanded stubbornly.
Seeing how Meredith was determined, Josiah nodded. “Okay, I’ll have Yoseph to get it back.”
He then made a call to Yoseph.
Shortly after, Yoseph showed up with Meredith’s hairpin.
Meredith took the hairpin from Yoseph and hugged it tightly in her arms. It was as if she was worried that she would
lose the hairpin.
Seeing how the hairpin was precious to Meredith, Josiah could not help but feel guilty for what he did
He should never have broken the hairpin in the first place.
“Edith, can we go to bed now?” He walked over to her and asked,
Glaring at him, Meredith seethed, “Go away, Josiah Shelby! I don’t want to see you. Leave!”
Josiah had put up with her tantrums for the entire evening and in the end, he got slightly irked too.”Meredith
Leighton, what’s the reason that you care so much about that hairpin? Is it because it’s a gift from your mother or
is it because it was a gift from some other guy?”
They had been through this question the last time and Meredith did not want to explain herself anymore.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut her attitude only irked Josiah even more.
“If this was a gift from your mother, it would not have been around anymore and I don’t see you being this sad
when you lost it the last time.”
Meredith chose to ignore him, again. She walked toward the bed and went to sleep with the hairpin in her arms.

Perhaps the hairpin gave her a sense of comfort and Meredith did not have nightmares again.
It was a weekend the next day.
Meredith woke up around ten in the morning and realized that the house was rather quiet and empty.
On the bedside table was the broken hairpin and Meredith guessed that Josiah might have placed them there when
she fell asleep.
Meredith picked up the hairpin and put it back into the wooden box.
She went downstairs and realized that it was silent too.
“Ma’am, you’re awake. Let me make you breakfast,” said Lily who was in the middle of doing house chores. “Where
are they?” Meredith asked.
